You can breathe new life into your legacy training content by importing existing SCORM packages directly into Mindsmith. This process converts your static SCORM files into native, editable Mindsmith courses and lessons, allowing you to easily update and maintain your learning materials.
Supported Authoring Tools
Mindsmith currently supports importing SCORM .zip packages exported from the following platforms:
Articulate Rise
Articulate Storyline
EasyGenerator
Evolve
Inkling
If you attempt to upload a SCORM package from an unsupported platform, the system will cancel the upload and display an "Unsupported authoring tool" error.
How to Import a SCORM Package
From your dashboard or project, click the Create button in the top-right corner.
In the dropdown menu, select Import ("Documents or SCORM packages").
In the import window, add your SCORM
.zipfile — drag it into the upload area, or click to browse and select it from your computer.Wait for the upload and processing to finish.
Once processing is complete, Mindsmith will automatically redirect you to your newly created lesson or course.
How the Conversion Works
Mindsmith does not simply embed your SCORM file; it fully rebuilds the content natively.
During the import process, Mindsmith extracts your text, layouts, and media, converting them into native Mindsmith tiles. You will see your content populated as text tiles, image tiles, and video tiles. Because the content is native, you can easily type new information, swap out images, or ask the Mindsmith Agent to rewrite specific sections.
Additionally, embedded media assets from your original SCORM file are automatically saved to your Mindsmith workspace. If your original Articulate Rise or EasyGenerator package contained multiple languages, Mindsmith will automatically detect them and generate translated versions of your course alongside the primary language.
Providing Feedback and Reimporting
Because third-party authoring tools export SCORM files in highly variable ways, your imported content may occasionally require minor formatting adjustments.
To help improve this process, imported lessons and courses have an Import Feedback option. Open the imported lesson or course, click the More options (⋯) menu, and select Import Feedback. (This option only appears on content that was imported.)
From there you can:
Rate the Import: Click Like (thumbs up) or Dislike (thumbs down) to tell us how the conversion performed.
Leave Comments: After choosing Dislike, a text box appears where you can describe what went wrong with the import.
